To highlight the importance of child passenger safety, London City Schools is proud to participate in Child Passenger Safety Week. Just as drivers regularly check their vehicle’s oil and tires, it is essential that anyone driving with children ensures their car seats are appropriate for the child’s age and size. Often, parents may not realize there’s an issue with their car seat setup—this applies even to seasoned parents who believe their children are properly secured. Child Passenger Safety Week is the perfect opportunity to reassess.
Millions of parents and caregivers across America travel daily with their children to work, school, and other activities. While many children are incorrectly installed car seats suited to their age and size, nearly half are not.
Although child passenger safety is crucial year-round, Child Passenger Safety Week in September serves as an ideal time to amplify safety messaging and remind caregivers to double-check their children’s car seats.
